Configure DigitalBeamTable in OAI and pass down to Aerial L1
With this MR it will be possible to define a Beamtable in OAI and pass it down
to a L1 (Aerial or OAI) which then will either use them locally to apply
static beamforming (Split 8 with USRP) or pass them down to the RU using 7.2
split with Section Extension 1.
Reduce number of mutex locking in MAC->RLC direction
Currently, the scheduler locks RLC for each operation. Concretely
- for RLC status indication (to get amount of bytes per LC), it locks per LC
- for RLC indication (UL traffic), it locks for each MAC SDU of which there can
be multiple in a TB
- for RLC data req (getting data from RLC to put into a transport block), it
locks for each LCID and PDU to get.
This can have a certain overhead, because we need to re-lock RLC multiple times
instead of once (per operation above). In this MR, rework the interfaces such
that it is possible to get all information/data in a single lock-unlock cycle,
which should also help with "spikes" of scheduler times (in some scenarios, it
seems the scheduler takes longer than 0.5ms, and while it's not only locking,
re-locking might contribute), and an increase of number of UEs (e.g., instead
of doing 3 * N UEs lock cycles for getting status of SRB1, SRB2, DRB1, we do
only N times). Concretely, for each UEs RLC status indication, we lock once,
only once per LCID when filling a TB (in particular for LCID 4, on high
throughput, it might be many times), and only once per UL TB (for the common
case of UL data).
Minor fixes include the increase of the Aerial VNF thread priority, and reducing
the maximum RLC indication size to reduce excessive computation (we can't have
1MB in one TB, it is too much).
Remove L1 dependence from NR band number
L1 band information relied on get_band function that couldn't provide an
unambiguous result. Also there is no SCF compliant parameter for L1 and
generally we don't really need that information in L1.
The MR also remove a RU section that used nr_band but was never really
accessed in NR.
Change Aerial to pack directly in nvIPC message buffer
This MR changes the Aerial pack/send procedures to pack the messages
directly into the nvIPC message buffers.
This saves the use of some memcopy calls, as well as clean up the code.
The P7 message packing/send is now only handled in the file
`fapi_nv_p7.c`
Add 3 functions in fapi_nvIPC.c to allow message allocation, release and
send from fapi_vnf_p7.c
Add 2 functions to access the memory pool sizes allocated from nvIPC, as
we can't use sizeof to report the buffer size to the packing functions
Remove now unused aerial_send_P5_msg , aerial_send_P7_msg and
aerial_send_P7_msg_with_data functions
Now Aerial only has one function to handle sending P5 and another to
send P7 messages
Remove fapi_phy_api_msg from fapi_nvIPC.h as it is duplicated in
nr_fapi.h
Prevent the PNF from sending P7 messages after sending a STOP.indication
Upon stopping the PNF, when sending the STOP.indication to the VNF, set
pnf_p7->terminate to 1.
Add a check on the PNF P7 send functions to not send a message after
pnf_p7->terminate is set.
This prevents the PNF from sending SLOT.indications after stopping,
which sometimes was causing the VNF to process a SLOT.indication after
it had received the indication to STOP.
Also, this MR adds a sanity check on the VNF P7 message handler to
ignore any P7 messages it receives after having it's own terminate flag
set to 1
This MR closes issue #1045
semi-manual remove of not used #define commands
As i was upset to see all these #define with no code under, i made a
global pass to remove the obvious cases semi-manual remove of not used
bodies
manual script, then a lot of manual review
grep -IRs "#define" ../openair* ../common/* ../executables/ ../nfapi/ ../radio/ | \
fgrep -v '(' | fgrep -v '//' |awk '{print $2}' | egrep -v "#define *$n"| \
while read n ; do
grep -IRs $n ../openair* ../common/* ../executables/ ../nfapi/ ../radio/ | grep -v "#define *$n" | grep -q $n || echo $n;
done
will give a decent list of #define never used. Then, I think we should
keep lists of # define when it comes from standards, even if the code
doesn't use it right now
Upon stopping the PNF, when sending the STOP.indication to the VNF, set pnf_p7->terminate to 1.
Add a check on the PNF P7 send functions to not send a message after pnf_p7->terminate is set
CORESET start multiple of 6 fix
According to the standard any CORESET (except CSET0) would always start
from the first common resource block index which is multiple of 6 in the
BWP. This was not taken into account in the code. The BWP switch CI test
is modified to test a BWP start not multiple of 6.
An exception is the case where rb-Offset-r16 parameter is set, but can't
be used at gNB for FAPI compatibility.
Closes: #1037
Make sure to apply Doppler and TA not directly when receiving the target cell ntn_config,
but apply Doppler just before the initial sync, and the TA after the initial sync when
we have tha actuel cell frame and slot numbers.
We need the ntn_config when reconfiguring the PHY layer for a new initial sync,
e.g. for calculating the DL Doppler frequency.
As a dedicated scheduled_response dl_config PDU it reaches the PHY layer too late,
as part of the phy_config.config_req it reaches the PHY layer in time with the
other configuration values.
When doing analogue beamforming, the beam ID for a pre-defined beam
table is passed directly to RU and there is no need to store the beam
table in PHY.
NR UE: calculate TA based on SIB19 information in NTN mode, if autonomous TA is not enabled
To achieve the goal, the hyper frame number (HFN) is introduced at the NR UE
PHY, MAC and RRC layers.
Besides this, we also implemented an orbit propagation to improve the accuracy
of N_UE_TA_adj, and a fix to keep the N_TA from RAR and MAC CE.
Fixes#981
Current FAPI slot_ahead value for WLS is too low for UL, as we see these
errors:
[NR_MAC] Unexpected ULSCH HARQ PID 14 (have 3) for RNTI 0xa68e
[NR_MAC] UE a68e expected HARQ pid 3 feedback at 586. 7, but is at 587.17 instead (HARQ feedback is in the past)
Similarly to nFAPI, scale it by mu (for mu=1 => slot_ahead=2) to give
additional time, which removes these warnings at the VNF.
Correctly copy nFAPI messages
All nFAPI message have copy helpers, so use that for "loading" nFAPI
messages into the L1. This also fixes a bug/error message
2. 0 no corresponding tx_data.request for dl_tti.request index 11, dropping
because the loop over DL_tti.request assumed that all messages are PDSCH
PDUs, when we can have others such as PDCCH, etc. In other words, when
looking up indices ("11" in the example above), we were checking also
inside other messages for SSB, PDCCH, etc, which is of course wrong.
That loop was an attempt to validate matching PDSCH PDUs with
TX_data.requests. This check is already done inside
phy_procedures_gNB_TX() through an assert, but this commit replaces with
the equivalent check previously inside nr_pnf_p7_get_msgs(). This is ok,
as the L1 cannot trust the scheduler (in monolithic) to provide the
correct information, either.

Implementation of STOP exchange
This implements the STOP.request/indication for all 3 transport mechanisms, the
VNF will send the STOP.request to the PNF, indicating it will disconnect, and
await a STOP.indication from the PNF
The WLS VNF is reworked to be able to start before the PNF, by calling call
rte_eal_init and rte_dev_probe to determine if dpdk has been initialized
properly, before calling rte_eal_init in the intended process when it is
appropriate to do so
Instead of trying to estimate N_UE_TA_adj with a second degree polynomial,
we introduce orbit propagation to calculate N_UE_TA_adj with higher accuracy.
When we receive the satellite ephemeris data consisting of the satellite position vector
and the satellite velocity vector, we calculate parameters for orbit propagation, assuming
a circular orbit in the plane created by the satellite position vector and the satellite
velocity vector. This is done in the function prepare_ue_sat_ta().
Every millisecond, we use these parameters together with the time since epoch to calculate
the satellite position on that orbit and from this the reound-trip-time between UE and the
satellite, what corresponds to N_UE_TA_adj. This is done in the function apply_ntn_timing_advance().
Reimplement nFAPI message exchange between L1 and L2 following the
changes in parent commit removing msgDataTx.
Avoid direct calls and use NR_IF_module fptrs to avoid linking problems.
allowing to remove some function definitions that are not needed.
